This is only meant to get you started


This is a great song to play around other people, while FoTC has become quite popular,
song remains mostly unknown. That being said there are a few things to know before
to learn this song:

Unlike most FoTC songs, this is a waltz and is played in 3/3 time signature, for those
of what that means think of every Chord as divided into 3 parts. 1st is the Bass, and 2nd
3rd are the rhythm, it sounds much better if you play the bass once, and the rhythm 4 
for the sake of simplicity i have tabbed out only 2 beats of the rhythm.

   Me


This repeats one more time for the second verse.

Afterwards there's a dialogue between "Me" and Petrov, this is all played repeating over:


   A
|---------|---------|
|-----5--5|-----5--5|
|-----6--6|-----6--6|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|--5------|--0------|


When the dialogue is over everything is shifted up one fret for the next verse which is
F and D#, the fashion that this is played in is the same as before

   A#
|---------|---------|
|-----6--6|-----6--6|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|-----8--8|-----8--8|
|-----8--8|-----8--8|

|-----8--8|-----8--8|
|-----8--8|-----8--8|
|-----8--8|-----8--8|
|--6--6--6|-----6--6|
|---------|--6------|


the next verse is shifted up yet again
For the creepy Oooooo Ooooo part it repeats B and changes to F

   B
|---------|---------|
|-----7--7|-----7--7|
|-----8--8|-----8--8|
|-----9--9|-----9--9|

|-----1--1|-----1--1|
|-----2--2|-----2--2|
|-----3--3|-----3--3|
|-----3--3|-----3--3|
|--1------|--0------|

after this verse it slows down and goes back to the original chords:

   Lost      lonely at  Sea

and as a closer it ends with
"lost but so LONEEEEELLEEEYYY" as an extended D chord strummed really fast "at seaaaaa!"

   E         D                   A                   let ring
